Sounds pretty awesome.

I love the idea of batman monitoring Gotham with drones

Oh, I know. Could be really cool.

I know there is no connection between the DCMU and any other films/television, but I really like Manu Bennett as Deathstroke. I wish they'd bring him into the fold.

Rumors of Joe Mangianello (sp?) playing this role in Suicide Squad.

Suicide Squad is going to be badass... And this sounds awesome:

Jared Leto's Joker is said to be scarred from years of battling with Batman, and will be the Hannibal Lecter of the film (i.e., playing mind games from inside his cell).

---

Also Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn is going to be the sexiest character you've ever seen.

All that sounds amazing.

Curious about Wonder Woman though, we've heard surprisingly little about that character in quite a while. Is she involved at all in any of these movies, or will her introduction be the Wonder Woman movie in 2017?

So, Jason Momoa is a badass

They could have absolutely put at very least gold in there to give some color. Or just green...orange alone would make him look like a goldfish.

But yeah, put me in more color camp.

Also, his left shoulder is bugging me...are they tattoos or skin texture? If they are tattoos, they should have done a better job of fading them into the skin, it looks like it is photoshopped right on top.

My initial reaction is whoa, awesome character..but its not Aquaman to me.

Yep, but it's apparently a pretty small role. More than a cameo (which is what Aquaman has), and it might even be somewhat pivotal, but overall she doesn't have much screentime, from what people are saying.

I'm digging the description TCTTS posted, just still not digging some of the casting, namely Gadot and Mamoa.

I think Momoa is going to surprise people, but I'm right there with you in regards to Gadot. Feels like such a bland choice, ala Snyder going with Malin Akerman for Silk Spectre.

Yeah, something tells me that Mamoa is as good as his material, so there's hope for him. But Gadot....

Momoa will do fine in the role. I'm not sold on Gadot. She is smoking hot, but doesn't really fit as WW.

Devin at Badass Digest with a pretty cool follow-up to El Mayimbe's scoop...

With The Joker appearing in Suicide Squad it makes sense that Batman wouldn't be far behind - especially since it's the second entry in the new DC Movieverse (Man of Steel doesn't quite count because the decision to team him up with Batman only came after the movie was released). But how will the Bat play into the story of a supervillain team on a suicide mission?

El Mayimbe at Latino Review has the scoop, and it's interesting. According to his sources, the only person in this movie who has dealt with Batman before is The Joker - which backs up my reports that in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* Batman is very much an urban legend type of character. Further, Mayimbe reports that they watch footage of Batman in action, and that Amanda Waller says he's the key to getting all of the supers (that's the word he uses specifically. I think they're called metahumans in BvS). That backs up what I've heard about BvS, and have reported before:

SLIGHT SPOILERS - highlight to read

That Batman acquires Lex Luthor's files on metahumans, and that he uses them to form the Justice League. It seems possible that those files contain many more names than just Aquaman, Wonder Woman and The Flash.

END SLIGHT OLD SPOILERS.

There's something I've heard that ties into this, which counts as new spoilers, so here's a warning:

NEW SPOILERS WARNING! - highlight to read

I've been told that Batman makes an appearance in the film, and not just on a monitor. Like, he interacts with characters. I'm guessing that between now and Justice League II Batman is going to be one part Nick Fury - the binding agent - and one part Iron Man - the celebrity cameo that you can sell to general audiences - as they build the DC Movieverse.

NEW SPOILERS END!

The one big problem with making Batman a man of mystery is going to be, moving forward, the question of how he remained such a man of mystery for so long. Especially as the backstory of the DC Movieverse gets filled in, and as other Batvillains show up and as Warner Bros starts getting the urge to do Batman prequel films. It'll end up being a tough tightrope walk - make your future Batman stories exciting, big and full of rich characters... while also making sure nobody ever gets a good look at the guy. It's a real challenge they've set for themselves, and I admire it.

By the way, reports are that The Joker in Suicide Squad will be a bulkier, The Dark Knight Returns influenced version. This kind of bums me out - it looks like TDKR is the touchstone for the whole Movieverse moving forward. I hope that there's more diversity to tone as we get to The Flash and Aquaman.

What I'm maybe looking forward to most is some future behind the scenes feature talking about how these movies have been written. Concepts and rumors have been all over the place. We are a long way from Batman investigating the murder of Robin as the catalyst to the world. Even in this initial film we have a crazy huge cast where we once had only the Big Two.

MEEEP!! I can't wait. I looove Harley Quinn

And we have our Luthor. Not bad actually

With Zack Snyder, you don't need to worry about set and costume design.

Is that a prison outfit?

Bingo. I have no doubt that it will look amazing.

Interesting...that's official TCTTS?

I want to be simultaneously turned on and scared of Margot's harley quinn. That should be the goal.

Ah, duh

Suicide Squad cast

Someone told me that Ben Affleck's Batman is a continuation of Christian Bale's character, and not a total re-make. Is that true and old news that I hadn't read on here, or completely false?

Someone is taking the picture since he is not in it

I either had no idea or I completely forgot that Ike Barinholtz was in this!

I just checked the IMDB page after looking at that photo. May want to take a look at who Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Mr. Eko - Lost) is set to play.

Holy ****
